This facility is more like a home, my mom has been living there for two years now and always feels included and has made great friends. Specially going into the holiday season, it can be a rough time for families but Summerfield does an amazing job of making sure everyone feels cared about and provided for. I could not recommend this place more to anyone who is looking for a good caring and loving center for their parents and loved ones. They always have activities and games going on throughout the day that make it feel more like a community than your run of the mill retirement home. All the staff members are very nice to the residents and are extremely professional. I have been extremely impressed with the level of care of the CNA’s provide my mom. The owner of the facility is also super personable and caring and committed to making sure everyone is looked after appropriately.

Do yourself a favor. Keep looking for somewhere else. On the surface the facility looks great and is well maintained. However, the owners could care less about your loved one. They do the bare minimum of what needs to be done. The staff ratio that was quoted at the beginning to us was not really what it was day in and day out. Which makes it so your loved one is the one quietly suffering when they need help. Then they are super shady about it. For example, a negative review was posted, but was taken down because they said it was spam. Which it wasn't. Doesn't that make you wonder why there are only 41 reviews over 8 years? Where are all the negative ones? Something doesn't add up. My loved ones lived there for multiple years and their conditions worsened while they were there. Lots of wounds because of the staff not being able to get to the resident in a timely matter. The owners come in often and say things that are not necessarily inappropriate, but very condescending. The turnover of the staff is huge. Likely because they are overworked, underpaid, and have to work for Dan and Rebecca (the owners). We are so happy we moved my loved ones. Seriously choose elsewhere. This is not a 5 star facility. It is a facility full of owners who want the money and staff that want to get better jobs. To be fair, once the staff came in, they were quite nice and pleasant to my parents. There just weren't enough of them because the owners needed to pad their pockets and only put the bare minimum on the schedule and then paid them less, thus making them search for other jobs, which shows by the turnover. Keep looking.
